DO-M ESTIC BOILER.-

SPEGIFIGATIONforming part of Letters iPatent No. 725,948, dated April 21, 19( )3.

Application filed November 15, 1902. Serial No. 131,546. (No model.) 7

To all whom it may concern.-

the United States, residing at Washington, in the District of Columbia, have invented a new and useful Domestic Boiler, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to domestic boilers,

and is especially designed for cooking aspar-.

agus, though it may beemployed for cooking other foods'or vegetables, and has for its object to produce a device of this character;

from which the cooked food may be readily discharged in an unbroken condition.

The invention consists of the details of construction and combination of parts more f ully hereinafter pointed out.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of the boiler, having one side removed to expose to view the food-receptacle therein. Fig. 2 is a perspective view outer casing or boiler proper, made from any suitable sheet metal, preferably tin or iron,

and provided with feet Zandacover 3, which latter I have shown as hinged, though it may close in any suitable manner. The cover is provided with an operating-handle 4 and with a sight-hole 5, closed by glass, mica, or the like, through which the interior of the boiler may be inspected for any desired purpose during operation.

6 is a funnel shaped tube mounted on the cover 3 and communicating with the interior of the boiler, through which Water may be introduced into the boiler .-when desired, This tube or funnel is suitably-closed at its top normally to prevent escape of steam.

7 indicates a series of small holes or perforations in the cover, preferably around the base of the funnel, through'which'a" limited quantity of steam may escape to relieve the pressure in the boiler.

7 as composed of perforated sheet metal, though Be'it known that LMARY FLYNN, a citizen of being the simplest and best for the purpose,

it may be of any other desired construction.

10 is a slide which normally closes one side of the receptacle and through which the cooked food maybe discharged by withdrawing the slide. This slide is preferably inserted through and operates in slots 11,formed.

in the transverse side of the vessel, the slide being provided at one edge with a suitable flange 12, which insures its accurate insertion, and with a tongue or handle 13, by which it may be manipulated.

In operation the receptacle 8 is turned to the position shown in Fig. 2, with the bail folded, the slide 10 is withdrawn, and the food to be steamed is placed in thevessel. The slide is then closed and the receptacle 'turned to the position shown in The operator thenturns the bail up, grasps the same, and places the receptacle into the boiler 1, with the slide side of the receptacle downward and with the bail again folded to a non-obstructing position. Whenthe food has properly cooked, the receptacle is by means of the bailjagain lifted from the boiler and placed over the dish in whichthe food is to be served with the slide downward, and the slide is withdrawn to discharge the contents'oftthe vesseh i From this constructionit will be readily seen that I produce a device from which the cooked food may be readily and directly discharg'edwithout feanof breaking or otherwise marrin g thefood in appearance. In attaining this object I do not limit or confine myself to the details herein shown and describedfas various changes naye made in 5 my invention, what proper, of a perforated removable food-recep- In testimony that I claim the foregoing as taole therefor, provided at one side with a my own I have hereto affixed my signature in bailor handle, adapted to fold down and lie the presence of two Witnesses.

snugly against the side of the receptacle, a MARY FLYNN. 5 slide normally closing the opposite side of Witnesses:
